Well... Can we see a full tank shot? Your plants look great!

Every thread in the cap is 1ML so try not using a capful for your 50G. Just one thread below the cap will do...

And yes, we would love a full tank shot please.

 

[bsdryder7]

[daileene]

Yay! Glad to hear an update. You can add the Flourish right after your PWC. When I take water out of my tank, I add in my water conditioner and my Flourish dose all at the same time and the fill the tank back up.

Looks to me like a crypt. Could be Crypt wendtii, possibly wendtii tropica.

If you've got a lot of plants, you can dose Flourish pretty generously. I've dumped an entire capful into my 20L with only a little GSA as a result. I do have some nutrient sponges like water sprite in the tank though.

ya it is a wenditti or however u spell it ...... the other one said it was a C.TROPICA......but what kind is it i saw three different types with no pics on plant geek??

my test results lol
p.h 7.6
high range P.H 7.4
amonia .0 ppm
nitrite .50 ppm
nitrate ...between 0-.5 ppm

man i just saw my jewel take a chunk out of my jack dempsy's tail........

 

[BigJim]

Crypt species can be very difficult to distinguish unless they're grown emersed and flowering.

 

[bsdryder7]

how can i get the nitrite down below .50 ???

Partial water change.
